i cannot find privacy & security in my firefox

I have Firefox as my default browser on my mini PC running CachyOS (linux). It's been acting strange lately and doesn't pop up with email links like it used to and when I went to settings I noticed the "being manged by my organization" notice at the top of the settings page. I don't recall seeing that before and since I'm old and retired and this is a personal PC with software that I installed myself I don't know what this message is referring to? Is this a normal Firefox thing or what?

Autoplay (of video SOUND) is always set to OFF except in a few cases where it is set to ALWAYS ASK FIRST. Facebook reels often ignore this setting. How can I stop it. The same phone setting on my Galaxy phone covers both AUDIO and INCOMING PHONE CALLS (ringing). If I mute my phone I cannot hear it ring. If I don't Facbook blasts the entire room ... when it was never supposed to to do via the settings.

I have for years hated that the right mouse click on a link had "open link in new tab" at the top of the menu, but accepted it as the item I wanted was only the second one down "open link in new window" and it was easy enough with my aging eyes not to have to read the item and have complete confidence that the second item would be selected and would be the item intended to select.

Now, in version 150 you have introduced another item which interfers with my selection.

I detest, hate, the horror of ""Open in Split View." This should NOT BE FORCED ON ME.

I hope in a future version you will allow complete customization of that menu, so that the available items may be reordered as the user needs, especially so I may have "open link in new window" at the top of the menu

I have set my version back to 149.0.2, disabled automatic dates, and will check to see when you have an improved browser with more complete customization possible for users, even ones you do not know.

If "open in split view" had been put lower in the menu, perhaps I would be pleased to explore its usefulness, but you were impertinent and presumptuous to try to force it on me.

Seit dem letzten update kann ist das application menu in english(usa) nicht mehr in deutsch. Ich habe versucht das Sprachpaket in deutsch zu installieren, ohne Erfolg. Auch sind meine Add ons verschwunden. Ärgerlich. Will Firefox, dass ich zu einem anderen Browser wechsel? Ich glaube nicht.

After browsing the internet, i find new stuff on my screen. Then I have to spend time deleting all the shortcuts I don't want. I have the home screen set the way I want it and don't want it to arbitrarily add short cuts I don't want or need. I hate it when it messes up what I have set.
